WP8: High tech instrumentation, technology development, integration, implementation and logistics

Workpackage objectives:

- To provide data in near-real time in an operational mode by developing novel underwater acoustic communication and navigation systems

- To develop acoustic tomography and thermometry

- To integrate complex technological subsystems

- To coordinate the logistical requirements and to manage the available resources
